5/5 from 826 reviews
Photo of Sotto Alle Casere Vostre Sotto Alle Casere Vostre "It was fate that brought us together with Sotto Alle Casere Vostre, and we couldn't have asked for anything better. Picture dining outdoors, under the stars, with a live band creating the perfect atmosphere and that balance between emotion and joy that leaves everyone breathless. At first, we were a bit apprehensive, and they knew it well, because we thought not all our guests would appreciate their style, or perhaps they would get bored, but it was exactly the opposite. The right vibe was created, guests were so surprised and entertained that they didn't want it to end, compliments flying left and right both during the party and in the following days. They were original and surprising, they amazed and entertained, but above all, they did it with PASSION, and it was evident from afar. Thank you guys, from the bottom of our hearts!"

Frequently asked questions

The average price for swing bands on Gig Heaven is €750, with rates from €230 to €2,400+. Cost varies based on the number of musicians, set length and the style of swing. Swing bands range from intimate jazz combos to large orchestras, and the size of the ensemble is the primary factor in pricing.

The swing bands in Makarska, Split-Dalmatia, Croatia perform swing, big band jazz, jive, boogie-woogie and related styles from the 1930s through to the modern swing revival. Many bands offer a mix of vintage classics and contemporary songs performed in a swing style.

Typical bookings for swing bands include vintage-themed weddings, black-tie dinners, corporate events, cocktail parties, swing dance nights and gala celebrations. Swing music creates a sophisticated, energetic atmosphere that is perfect for dancing.

Most line-ups include one, and in smaller groups the singer often doubles on an instrument. Some acts are instrumental only, which works well for background playing but changes the feel once people want to dance. Profiles say which format each act offers and several can supply either.

Swing is written for dancing and most bands build the set around it, varying the tempo so the floor stays busy rather than holding one pace all night. Several will run a short demonstration early on at events where guests do not know the steps. A floor area clear of tables makes far more difference to this than the size of the line-up.

Most perform in vintage-styled suits or dresses in keeping with the era, and many will match a black-tie or 1940s theme if asked. Some carry more than one look and will confirm which suits the occasion. Mentioning the theme when enquiring is usually enough, as it rarely affects the fee.

Most swing bands are self-contained and bring their own instruments, PA system and amplification. Larger ensembles may have specific staging requirements. It is worth confirming technical and space needs with the band before booking.

The swing bands on Gig Heaven range from small combos of three to five musicians up to full big band line-ups with horn sections and vocalists. A smaller group suits intimate settings, while a larger ensemble delivers the classic big band swing sound.
